Make the salad too. The scramble is simple but the combo of the salad with the scramble is awesome.
Of course I baked a π Day pie. Just the one this year, since it's just for Kris and I. Peach-Mango filling dosed with ginger and some other spices, with a lattice top.
(I couldn't *not* buy the Table Talk pie display box at the antiques place.)
One of my favorite businesses in SF Japantown is Maruwu Seicha. Awesome cheese tarts and matcha drinks.
#Apples, the fruit of Winter. While we think of them as dessert fruit, they also make amazing salads and savoury baked dishes - salads, pickles, chutneys, as well as jams, breakfast dishes, juices and desserts.
They can be eaten raw, poached and roasted. As well as salads, they make amazing soups when incorporated with veggies. Dr Ben, a Korean doctor and blogger, uses apples and pears in his kimchis for sweetening.
to the apple!
"...H Mart’s ascent reflects more than just a better or more affordable version of what most Americans already shop for. The company’s expansion across the US has coincided with decades of demographic shifts in which Asian Americans have become the fastest-growing group, and South Korean culture in particular has given rise to juggernauts in pop music and beauty...roughly 30% of the specialty grocer’s shoppers are now non-Asian."
Buried. #australia ‘s Climate Risk Assessment
“No one is officially telling Australian people that we have officially passed 1.5°C…The question now is, how much below 2°C can we stay?”

“Most experts are saying we’re actually on track for 2.6-3°C. Now, that is catastrophic in some areas. So, I think it’s recklessly negligent of either major party to fail to properly inform the Australian people of the risk ahead.”

It's ironic that Bourdain was arguably happiest in France, home to ancestors where he and his brother spent summers as boys.
in 2009, Tony visited Cancale on the Brittany coast for this episode, featuring Olivier Roellinger who rejects mass production of his confections at Grain de Vanille.

#UnitedNations #food agency said on Friday that more than 1 million people in the war-torn nation of #Myanmar will be cut off from food assistance in April due to critical funding shortfalls. The WFP said it would need $60 million to continue ... not immediately clear if the WFP’s decision was directly related to US President Donald Trump's recent moves to stop most foreign aid and dismantle the US Agency for International Development.

My #breakfast cod #congee with green onions & fried wonton wraps - I added some minced ginger too.
Hmmm.... to cut food waste Tesco is to trial an end-of-the-day food giveaway; bypassing donations to food banks & offering free food direct to customers (although they will be third in line behind charities & the store's own staff).
Its an interesting idea, but much will depend on how its handled - nonetheless if done well it seems like (could be) a good way of both helping reduce food rates & exercising some compassion.
